So, I'm ready to take the plunge, and I'm not sure what to buy for my first razor. I have a strop, brush, and the rest of the accoutraments, but I have been trying to decide on a razor, and I wanted to take advantage of the SRD deal with the free honing for life.

I'm a cheapskate by heart and that makes me want to just get a dovo best, but I'm not sure that it will give me a good shave for the forseeable future.

The other end of the spectrum is that I don't like to buy crap either, and I would love to get something like the ebony silver steel dovo, but all they have on SRD is the spike point in stock. I'm a bit leery of safety concerns. I just don't want to decide in a couple months that I regretted buying the dovo best, but I also don't want to spend a ton on my first in case it all doesn't go well.

Suggesstions. And no I really don't want to get a shavette.
